Will my guitar fit my case?https://www.jcfonline.com/threads/159186-Will-my-guitar-fit-my-case?goto=newpost
Tue, 19 Mar 2019 02:15:18 GMTI know... put it in and see.
Unfortunately they are in different places at the moment and I'm curious now.
So here's the thing...
I just traded my MIJ Fender Strat for a Greco EGC ,and it got me to thinking.
When I got the Fender it came in an old Charvel case, a tweed one.
I was told that the case was not for strat style headstocks, but for 87ish necks with a tilted headstock, and then not even a reverse headstock, but only the tilted "down" headstocks.
Anybody heard this?
I have been using it for a Tele the last 8-9 years, but mostly for storage, so not a lot of in and out.
It is a tight fit.
The tip of the headstock kind of pushs into the padding, but you can close the case OK.
Do you think it will be OK with my 2010 neck guitar?
Should be about the same length I think.
heres a pic of the case I'm talking about.
This is not my actual case, mine is identical though.
My guitar

So I figure somebody here will know: if the case is really only intended for pointy headstocks or whatever,
or if I can plan on using it for my newer Charvel without issues?
Just thinking..... wondering.
All help is appreciated

Was really cheap and they would probably take less.

Anyway, I've been trying to ID this Charvel I recently got from Japan but couldn't find anything on the web on it as it's got very unusual specs. The store had it listed as a "Charvel SL" as it does appear to have Soloist specs, but the toothpaste logo and neck-thru construction makes it likely it's from the Professional Series (https://www.jcfonline.com/threads/15...=1#post1670920). But I couldn't find a model from that series that has a TOM string-thru bridge, 3-way toggle switch, and what appear to be stock EMGs. To add to the confusion, it's got a serial number that starts with C6, indicating a build year of 1986.

Any hints will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Tue, 05 Mar 2019 15:58:55 GMTHas anyone upgraded the sustain block on their MIM Charvel, which has the FR 1000? Mine came with a size 32, and I'm wondering if the 32mm L-block will fit or I could go up to a 37mm block.

Thanks!

She took the blindfold off and I was holding a Charvel Model 1A in black. Cool! I was then offered a red Fender Squier. Which to choose? I could pick what I liked. Never regretted choosing my darling 1A. She still plays beautifully and has never needed attention of any sort..... and when I now compare her value to a Squier - WOW!

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 20:42:13 GMTHiya,

Been wondering for ages exactly what I've got and would be very grateful for any advice anyone can help out with. I'm mostly sure it's a SoCal and I know it was blue beforehand. Other than that, I have no idea what model/version of SoCal it is on when it was made.

It has two DiMarzio humbuckers (not sure of type), single volume control (push/pull, not sure if this was a mod or not), three-way toggle selector and a one-piece maple neck (with rolled edges).

I've got a Charvel Model 7 which I've had since i was 15, I haven't played it for years and with a new baby on the way I need to make some space!

Question is, what sort of money is it worth? I could ebay it but I want to put a sensible reserve on it and I'm not a collector or anything. It's in pretty good nick, never been gigged, only a few scratches and dings in the usual places. Missing the blanking plate from the back cavity, there's a chunk out of the pointy part of the reverse headstock and one of the machine heads is slightly bent where I dropped it at school, in ahem, 1990!

thanks.

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 00:10:25 GMTWell I did a new member Intro, so here is my Guitar related post.
As I said in my first post I bought a Charvel, I'm just not sure what year/model etc and I'm looking for some expertise to help me figure it out.
What I have figured out
I like it.
Made in Japan
Fender headstock so most likely 2002+ (I don't think its a CS lol)
Its been Monkeyed with a bit I think (no offense intended to any Monkeys who may view this thread)
Has Black Jackson labeled tuners.
The bridge is a FR Special. Not a 1000
Bridge is Gold. and has the upgraded Floyd Rose Brass block with 37 stamped on it.C
Comes with accessory parts like Gold Bridge mounting posts, that and it being a Special make me think its been changed,
Locking nut removed and a Tusq XL (I Think) added, Locking nut with guitar.
I'm not sure about the bridge pickup. it may have been changed, no visible markings and I haven't opened it up yet.
Neck and middle PUPs are branded Jackson.
6 digit serial starting with 339xxx.
And I really hope those Knobs are NOT original!
So here are some pics, first I'm sorry about the pics, I have a not so good camera.

Anything else that will help with ID just let me know.
Thanks to all who help.

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 22:03:03 GMTI have a pair of model series Charvels that I'd really like to change the nuts on, but I'm not exactly great at cutting in the string grooves and was wondering if anyone could send me a link to any nuts that would be drop in for these guitars? I can file them down height wise, but the rest I'm just not any good at.
